Mattel held a special press event at Toy Fair 2020 this morning. We have over 90 photos of their Masters of the Universe display. Fans can get a good sense of what Masters of the Universe Origins will be offering this year. They not only had a number of figures on display, but revealed the fist vehicle, as well as Battle Cat. Mattel is also bringing back stylized MOTU mini-figures. These look to be blind boxed figures, which will come packed in small Castle Grayskull and snake Mountain boxes. Finally, there are also photos of their Masters of the Universe Mega Construx.

Mega Construx, formerly Mega Bloks and now under the umbrella of Mattel, has been putting out higher end collector brick sets for a while. Included in the properties they cover, Masters of the Universe is now one of them. They’ve been doing great mini-figures, vehicles and more, really digging into the brand’s deep roster. Today we are taking a look at their first Pro-Builder level piece – Masters of the Universe Castle Grayskull. It is a massive set of 3508 pieces, “in scale” relatively for the mini-figures. It has 3 floors, hidden rooms, opening front gate, weapons racks (with weapons), a throne, working elevator, house banners and 6 different mini figures. He-Man, Skeletor, Man-At-Arms, Sorceress, The Goddess and Beast Man all get articulated mini fig representation here.
While bricks aren’t my normal thing, it was a fun romp putting it together. Took me forever as I only had time to do a little bit each day, but once done it was impressive. If you are into MOTU and have an itch before the Origins figures drop in full, then I suggest checking this out. It’s also a great way to introduce the MOTU lore to younger fans by doing a big project like this with some toons on in the background.
Castle Grayskull is out now, available at some of our sponsors and places like Amazon or eBay.

Time for a mega gallery update for Masters of the Universe! I’ve been grabbing Club Grayskull, the cartoon themed toys of the characters, since it first launched. I missed the early stuff of standard MOTUC and never fully jumped in. Club Grayskull gave me a chance to get a good rep of classic He-Man stuff on the shelf anew. Soon after, Mattel shut down Matty Collector but luckily the awesome folks at Super7 have picked up where they left off. We are now on Wave 3 of the line featuring Sorceress, Man-E-Faces, Mer-Man and Tung Lashor, with Wave 4 announced.
Today we are looking at Wave 3 along with several exclusives that fit in the Grayskull theme. Power Con held their annual event over the summer and had three exclusives – Spikor, Chopper and a 2 pack of Dree Elle and Uncle Montork. Super 7 also dropped a Laughing Price Adam during SDCC, and web orders for that are just coming in now.
We’ve got all 8 releases here and we’ve done up a mega gallery featuring them all. We also ran the previous figures with similar fancy backgrounds so the whole line is available in a uniform style. Read on to check over 150 images of them all!

At Power-Con 2018, Mattel had a display of some potential new Masters of the Universe and Thundercats Classics at their booth. For Masters of the Universe, since Super 7 is handling the main line, Mattel was showcasing updated Jumbo 12″ figures, which have new head sculpts that more accurately reflect the classic toys. they also dropped in a couple of surprise Thundercats Classics figures! They had Jaga and Grune on display. Everything is listed as “Concept Figures” with no guarantee they will be produced, so this may wind up being a display just for the sake of having a display at the show. The photos come courtesy of ToyShiz on Instagram.
